I found the site a few days ago while I started looking for some good resources on bicycle touring. Looking to stop dreaming about great tirps and take control of my life. I would like to get in better shape and tour the country by bicycle, starting with getting the bike and myself together. I have both a mountain bike and semi-road/touring bike. I have done a lot of backpacking and would like to take those skills to get out of the car and onto the road. I look forward to seeing what I can learn here.
